Wrinkles everywhere!

Hi there! So, I have a female jackson's. She was mated on 12/1 and is pretty clearly gravid. She's eating every so often, and drinking like CRAZY. She's also gaining weight, and now looks like she's going to shed shortly. She's shed before, but this time she's quite wrinkled! She's never seemed so wrinkley to me before. She's pooping just fine, the poop looks hydrated, and she couldn't possibly drink more than she's doing, so I'm wondering, are the wrinkles just a pre-shedding thing?

Could you post a pic? Also, how much is she eating?

Sure, I'll take one now!

Some chameleons do tend to get a little wrinkled before shedding.

Ok, here's two photos I just took.

She's just looking more elephantine than usual. Though not much she's doing lately is usual! Since the mating, she's got all kinds of new behavior. As for eating, she used to eat a LOT, now, she'll eat a few crickets a week, and sometimes a roach. She shuns hornworms which she used to absolutely go crazy for.
